The Stitch Files - Feather Stitch

This is one of my favorite stitches. I made a sample of wool, perle cotton and embroidery thread overlaying the stitches.

Back in 2008 I worked a sampler book which I did not want to destroy. So I just glued a photo of my book into the files.

Here is the content of my booklet. Some variations ...

... different threads, from sewing thread to wool and strips of fabric ....

... and some beaded variations.

UFO finished ...

Today I finished this little Crazy Quilt. Here are the blocks which I did some time ago. I am not really satisfied with them but decided to leave them as they are, documenting what I was able to do at the time I worked them.

Heute habe ich diesen kleinen Crazy Quilt fertiggestellt. Hier sind die Blocks, die ich vor einiger Zeit gemacht habe. Ich bin nicht wirklich zufrieden damit, habe mich aber entschlossen, sie so zu lassen wie sie sind, gewissermaßen als Dokument dessen, was ich seiner Zeit zu tun in der Lage war.

I covered the seams with a few beads and put some lace around the blocks.

Die Nähte habe ich mit einigen Perlen versehen und Spitze um die Blocks genäht.

The fun part: beaded feather stitch.

Der Spaß-Part: Federstich mit Perlen.
